A catalytic hydroxyl-directed anti-dihydroxylation of allylic and homoallylic alcohols has been developed. This operationally simple method was successfully applied to the direct anti-monodihydroxylation of allylic alcohols containing at least one distal olefinic unit. Under the catalysis of commercially available MoO2(acac)2, an array of hydroxylated dienes were successfully converted into various 1,2,3-triols using hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally benign oxidant under aerobic conditions, notably, in complete regioselectivities and in the most cases in diastereospecific pathway.
CYCLOFUNCTIONALISATION OF EPOXYALCOHOL DERIVATIVES. 2. STEREO- AND REGIOSPECIFIC CONVERSION TO 1,3-DIOXOLANES

2,3-Epoxyalcohols react with paraformaldehyde and either cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate/phase-transfer catalyst in polar, aprotic solvents to give excellent yields of 4-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-1,3-dioxolanes, with inversion at C-2.
